I like the look of gaerne but the steel toe caps put me off. Looks outdated and will look terrible when they go rusty.

You can take them off. Even says something about it in the little booklet that comes with the SG-12s

I took mine off and shaved down the front lip of the sole on a belt sander, mucho bettero

Looking at these a little more, I think they’ve overhauled the sole design. The SG12 is (as far as I can tell) stitchdown construction on the sole. The new boot is advertised as a Goodyear welt. There are a few pros and cons to each construction, but the most noticeable difference for riders will probably be the exterior dimensions. A Goodyear welt construction will have a smaller footprint for an equivalent size of stitchdown. It looks like the sg22 is substantially similar to the 12 but with less bulk around the foot.
